LCHF

[8890]

Hi all I'm new to this site and have read the comments about SW and WW. I have tried both but although I preferred SW I got bored with all the fruit and veg. I have also been looking into the Low Carb High Fat diet. Has anyone tried this, if so what are your thoughts?

Hi and welcome 8890

I think you'll find that whatever "diet" you follow, veg and some fruit are going to feature highly in all of them! Even the Atkins diet advocates the eating of them.

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news

Take a look at the 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom on a mobile.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey

Moderation in all things is a good rule to go by, 8990. If you cut stuff out or are obliged to eat mainly something else, it becomes unsustainable. If you read through the posts here, what you will find working for most people is simply portion control and calorie reduction. Deny yourself nothing, but eat less and eventually you will weigh less. Good luck!
